Side Project

Hi everyone,

Recently I launched my latest app, My Cart which is a meal planning app. The app provides dozens of recipes and their respective ingredients. You can select all of the ingredients you need and then the app will show you price comparisons among several grocery stores (Currently Walmart, Kroger, HEB, Aldi. Whole Foods and Target are next on the list to add). You can also use the generate feature which adds 1000s of additional recipes, their ingredients, and how to make them. You can also add individual items to your shopping list if you want to just shop for groceries that way and you can check out with any of the stores listed above. You then would schedule curbside pickup or delivery with the store.

Key features of the app include:

• Dozens of in-house recipes + thousands you can search up
• Price comparisons of recipes/items by store
• No added costs or surcharges (we don't add fees to the checkout price or take any %)
• Saving time from conventional in-store shopping
• Cheaper than other Meal-provider apps (Hello fresh, Factor, Uber Eats, etc)
• Easy Cancellation and the subscription occurs through Apple/Google so you don't provide payment info to us

Having launched (we have yet to post to Product Hunt or Indie Hackers), I am wondering if the price point is at the right spot. The app costs $4.99/Mo to use and looking at our install and conversion metrics, this seems to be a huge wall for most new users who download the app. When you first open the app, it walks you through the entire app and lays out the benefits of costs and time savings before it prompts you to sign up. I was hoping to get some feedback on the app and the price point and see what other people thought the app was worth a month.
